He will step it back up.
January 17, 20178 yr comment_243392 Basically, you pay Trouba $8 million a season for seven years and make Buff your second pairing D... that's the only out I can see

He says put Trouba and Morrissey together as top pairing. Buff is unique and a great asset when everything else is working. he's not a D man. He's a rover. We're lucky to have him but everything else has to be working for him to be the best at what he does.
January 17, 20178 yr comment_243428 The other thing about Buff is that you can't ever expect 82 games, or anything close to that, from a guy his size. He can't play at his best for more than maybe 50 games, because he just gets worn down too fast. If you can get top notch Buff for about half the season, and then 75% Buff for 1/4 and then Whatever He's Got Buff for 1/4......that's about the best season from the big man.

Getting him down to 20 minutes a game would help a lot too. Let Trouba play 27 minutes. I guess Trouba played 31 last game. Let him and Morrissey eat the minutes. If you want to sign Trouba long term that's his role, so give it to him. And try to get him to sign a deal this summer. In the meantime, try to trade Toby so you dont have to protect 4 D in the expansion draft. Pens could use him...see what it would take.

Don't see that happening. I think Buff could play 22 - 24 minutes a night. Beyond that and it's trouble. I would like to see Morrissey and Trouba together. If Trouba re-signs, that's your pairing for the next 5 plus years anyhow.

I feel like that's what happened in November... Jets just ran him down

January 18, 20178 yr comment_243486 There are teams out there in the east who would trade for Toby. Probably would have to take back a cap dump but it's possible

They were talking to the Jets last year about him apparently. Washington. Tampa. There are teams out there who value defensively responsible players

There are teams out there who value defensively responsible players Pittsburgh and Tampa are up against the cap... maybe if Jets retain all of Toby's salary. As for Washington, what are they sending back?
January 18, 20178 yr comment_243497 Pens have Letang out for an extended period. Their D is weak. They'd love Toby.

January 18, 20178 yr comment_243501 listening to 1290 today, one of the hosts said the Jets have the highest salary for defence, in the NHL.

And Morrossey is on rookie deal and trouba is a bargain. Keep in mind though that Myers is paid less than his cap hit. He's the key to cash flexibility. Toby has one year left. If they don't trade him I see them signing a three year extension. But again he'd look great in Pitts. I believe Pens have some expiring contracts for next season so it might work.

I'm not a Toby-hater as much as most people but he is quite overpaid no matter which way you spin it. But I am surprised the Jets D salary is the HIGHEST....
January 18, 20178 yr comment_243616 7.5 for buff and 5.5 plus for Toby and Myers will do that. Thought we were up there but... didn't think we were the highest. Thought top 5 for sure. But how is Nashville less. Josi on some sort of super bargain?

Plus Subban at 9M, two guys at 2.5 and 3.75 and the rest on entry-level deals.
